Chapter 2

I walked through the terminal gate and into the luggage area to pick my bags and things. It took me a couple of minutes before i found them and took them. As I walked by the halls of the airport, i came across the section where they had big posters of tourist destinations plastered on the walls. There were posters of the British Museum, the National Gallery, Madame Tussuads, the Westminster of Abbey, the River Thames, and of course, the Buckingham Palace. Seeing these photos made me realize that i have never been to these places before. Weird, for i have lived in London for three years already. Well, i guess i just never had time. As i passed by another photo, i felt as if my heart stopped for a second, and not only my heart, but time as well. It was as if i was brought back to the past as the memories came flooding down my brain.

*4 years ago

"Niall what are you doing?" I asked the boy who covered my eyes with his hands. He was leading me to a place i know nothing about. I was only 14 and Niall was 18. Even though we shared a big age gap, we were really close friends. It's either because Niall is childish or I just act a little more mature than my age. Well, age is just a number, they said. And in this friendship, age wasn't a great deal. During this time, Niall was at the peak of success with his band, One Direction. They had just finished their Up All Night World Tour and were already recording for their second album. Me? I was still just a student working part-time at a cafe, and well, a directioner.

"Just relax, I'm not taking you somewhere dangerous or something." Niall said with a tone of excitement at his voice.

"Seriously though, you out of all people know how much i hate this kind of stuff! Just tell me where you're taking me, and please, get your dirty hands off my face already!"I exclaimed. I tried to take his hands, but i failed at my first attempt. Earlier this afternoon, he had told me that he would treat me to Nandos and well, being the pig that I am, agreed with no hesitation. Little did I know that Niall had other things on his mind. As soon as i stood by his car, he wrapped a blindfold around my eyes and made me sit down on probably the passenger seat of the car. The journey was a little loud, with me trying to take the blindfold off and Niall shouting at me and scolding me. It all stopped when the car halted to a stop and he turned the engines off.

"We're here" Niall announced. You could really tell by the tone of his expressions that he was up to something and very excited. I heard him open his car door and leave, then he opened my side and took off the blindfold. Just as I was about to open my eyes and see the light once again, he was quick enough to cover them with his hands. "Ugh!" I was really getting annoyed and impatient.

"No peeking!" he laughed. He led me to a path and then after a couple of minutes, we came to a stop. "I'll take my hands off now, but promise me one thing."

"What?" I asked.

"Do not open your eyes until i say so. Okay?"

"Or else what? You gonna kill me?" I replied sarcastically.

"No, I'll show the boys that video of yours singing and dancing to that Korean group, Girls Generation."

"Okay! Okay! I won't open them! Just don't show them that video!" I replied. The video he was talking about was me singing to Girls Generation's hit song, The Boys. And well, maybe I added my own silly choreography to it. I danced at One Direction's practice room not knowing that Niall was actually there recording me.

"You promise?" Niall asked.

"Yes! I promise! Cross my heart and hope to die!" I exclaimed assuringly.

"Okay, on the count of three, open them."

"1..."

"2...'"

"3!"

I opened my eyes and saw one of my dreams come true right before me. It was one of the prettiest things i saw in this world. It was the London Eye. Ever since I moved here, i had always wanted to come here and ride the giant ferris wheel. Back in the Philippines, you could only ride a ferris wheel if there was a festival at your town and a carnival was put up. I had been very fond of ferris wheels, they just make me feel like I'm on the top of the world whenever I ride one. And now, to see a very huge one made me feel like i could be on top of the universe. It's all thanks to the boy beside me.

"You surprised?" Niall said, ending the thoughts inside my head.

"Surprised? I'm more than surprised Niall, I'm really really happy and i just have no words to describe this feeling i have. You just made one of my dreams come true. Here I am now, standing at the world's largest ferris wheel, the ferris wheel that I only dreamed about then, and it's all thanks to you. You really are such a sweet and awesome guy. I'm really glad I met you and became friends with you. I don't know how to pay you back." tears were forming at my eyes as I said those words.

"Jas, don't cry!" Niall said, comforting me. "This is one of the things I would do for you. You're my princess and i always wish to turn your dreams into reality. You're special to me, okay? And I'm also really glad to have met someone like you, and I'm so happy that you came into my life. And if you're thinking of paying me back, there's no use to it. Wheen you told me the words 'i love you', it was more than enough. You also made my dream come true. My dream of finally finding my princess is now a reality thanks to you. You will always be MY Princess Jas, and nothing can change that. I love you so much"

"I love you too, Niall. Thank you so much." I couldn't find the right words to say to Niall after i heard the words he just said to me. Those were the words every girl would love to hear, and I'm very lucky to be hearing these words from Niall. Words aren't enough to explain the feelings i had for him.

"Well, was your dream about just standing here and staring at the ferris wheel? What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Before I could say another word, Niall took my hands, held it tight, and lead me as we ran to the Ferris wheel.

Tears welled up my eyes as i recalled that time. It was months before I left for the Philippines. It was one of the moments I wanted back. During that time, Niall really made me feel special and he treated me like a real princess. His princess. I hope to have those moments again now that I'm back.

As I arrived at the arrival area, I saw many families and friends reunited.

I wonder who's here to pick me up. I thought. I had told my friends days before the flight that i would be coming back today. Not all of them though, I only told my Naj and a few friends. I tried calling Niall but his phone was always off, and i dm'ed him on Twitter, but he never replied. So I told Louis instead. Aside from Niall, Louis was also the one I was closest to in the band. From the first time we met, we just really became close. I'm sure he told Niall that I was back. I hope he had.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard screams form outside. They were really loud girl screams. There must be a celebrity who came to the airport. I disregarded that and went looking for Naj, but to my dismay, she wasn't here. Seeing that I had no one to pick me up, I made my way to the exit to call a cab. Just as I was about to call a taxi, a big, black van stopped in front of the exit. The screams had gotten much more louder now. I saw some girls holding posters, and well, from the faces the posters had, I knew who were inside the van.

"He's actually here" I said inside my mind and i smiled. Then the door of the van opened, and before I could see his face, a man came running to me and embraced me into his arms. From his scent and the way he had hugged me, I knew it was him. In front of all the people around us. In front of all his fans around us. Niall Horan hugged me.
